The Danish Model

New Horizons in the Economics of Innovation series

Written by the scholar who, together with Chris Freeman, first introduced the
concept of the innovation system, this book brings the literature an important step
forward. Based upon extraordinarily rich empirical material, it shows how and why
competence building and innovation are crucial for economic growth and
competitiveness in the current era. It also provides a case study of a small, very
successful European economy combining wealth creation with social cohesion.
